'New Yorkers Will Have New Safeguards to Stop These Intrusive Calls'

Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo on the Passage of Telemarketing Legislation

"The legislation passed by both the Assembly and Senate that takes major steps to prevent unwanted and annoying telemarketing calls is a big win for the people of New York State. We all know what it is like to be harassed in our homes or on our cell phones by calls from telemarketers trying to sell their products, and with the legislation passed today New Yorkers will have new safeguards to stop these intrusive calls. I applaud the members of the Legislature for their swift passage of this important bill."
